Google Docs - useful to collaborate on documents, share and edit various documents within your PLC, can create tables to help organize information, you can also create a spreadsheet to share information about students, you can also create forms to have people fill out which will populate an already created spreadsheet - we could use this for our back to school survey, volunteer sign ups, conferences, mystery reader sign up, etc.

Moodle - you can create a class, then go into it and post homework, lessons, graphic organizers, powerpoint presentations. The students each log in to see their class. You can also have discussions. Their grades can also be linked to it, you can create quizzes, surveys, wikis etc.

Crocodoc - similar to google docs, can upload pdf's and edit, comment, draw, highlight on them and print.
